Hi! I'm Kelsey and I'm 18 years old and a senior in high school (I graduate in 3 months! ) I've been wanting to stretch my ears for over a year now and one of my friends got me a stainless steel stretching kit for Christmas that came with tapers and tunnels..which means I've had them for a while before I decided to do it. I finally did my first stretch (from 18 to 14) Sunday ( 4 days ago now ) and there was virtually no pain. I'm planning on going to a 4g or a 2g but I haven't decided yet. I have tiny ears so a 4g will probably look like a 2g in my ears. I guess I'll decide when I get there
